Default Headlight Issues

Hey new to the forum and new to my CBR. Have only ridden a ninja500 for about two years before moving onto this bike so I honestly don't know too much.

I was backing the bike up yesterday and had my pants leg get caught on the bike...long story short it tipped over. Since then my High beams work but my normal day lights don't. Did the drop have anything to do with it or is the bulb just bad? What should I check?

I went through the search feature and found wiring problems from moisture and what have you but I just need a little advice

check to see if plug came out of bulb. 2nd check bulb to see if burnt(you can reach in and get the bulb out in between the gauge and fork).

Ok i've tested the white wire and all connectors are good. I've tried pulling out the light bulb but cant get it out....ive got huge hands so getting two fingers on each of those "plug like" prongs is impossible. Do I just wiggle it out or do I have to twist it counterclockwise and unscrew it....sorry im the bikes second owner and I havent gotten a manual yet. Also the bike only has 3K miles so I didn't think it would be an issue so early

1) you broke the headlight

or

2) you dislodged a connecting pin in the wiring harness in the front faring. buy some dielectric grease and lube up.
